The Senior members of the Senior Choir sang a varied iirogram of song in the .Mid Week Vespers iirograin on the night of the same day. The annual Senior play, written this year by Roberta Favors and (Joldwyn Foster, was entitled "From Then ’Til Now". 'I'he time of the play was ten .vears from now and b,v flash-back scenes, the four yt'ars histoi'y of the Senior ('lass was revealed. On 'I'hursday night, the Seniors .spon sored the bii'thday dimier lionoring born in f'ebi'uary, ilarch, and April using St, Patrick's day as the theme for the dimier.

'I'hat statement has been made over and over again, not in the same words pei'haps, not even in reference to tlu‘ same things. .\('vei'theless, the one idea is dominant —that tliose things whli'li are beauti- .ul will b(‘ riMiienibered in association with pleasant iiuMnories, We bring psychologists to our aid. 'I'lu'y have su|iported this theory. The statunent has biH'ii made in ref- I'rence to (an- campus, Ye olde phil- oso]iher has often overheard one say, "I'll never forget Ileniiett in the spring. \V(' ask, how could you'/ Nothing is inore beautiful than cnir campus at sun rise and sunset. Nothing is lovelier than the stretch of green in front of the chapel. Nothing is more lasting than the sight of the girls strolling around the campus, 'The stiitement has lieen made in ref erence to our recent experience, an experience which we will nver I'orget. It, too held beauty, 'i’he beauty of or der and form. It took planning and work and cooperaion to reach the p('r- fection of the past week. We can all say that never have we enjoyed a Home-ilaking Institute as much as the oiu‘ of this year. It was an honor to be hostess to the First Lady of the land. We are proud to have her particiiiate ill our projects. JUit, we may also take prltle in the fact that we wore able to bring to the community the type of information which is vital to post-war planning. 'I'liere was beatdy in the experience. AVe can see then that beauty does not only pertain to the blending of tlie hues, the song of the robin, but also to form and ord(‘r. 'These tilings which are a part of our college live.s—they will be joys forever. Hats off to the Home-Making Coni- mitee. At the ln'gimdng of the year Kennett set up tlu‘ Community Project, 'f'he purpose of this project was to strengthen the relationship between the collllimnlt,)' aild tlu- V»lleg(.-. y[i.ss Parker has made that possible, the Home-Making Institute has supported it, W(‘ all must ket'p it going.
